Abstrakt: Particular attention was paid to attempts to record and archive our experiences through the pandemic, comparisons between COVID-19 and the "Spanish" flu as well as shifting understandings of temporality during the pandemic. I have a lot of interest in policing and what police do during events like the pandemic, but that in itself produces a very skewed picture of what the pandemic is about. Passionate about public history, in 2018-19 Peter coordinated a project to encourage community historians to research the local impact of the 1918-19 pneumonic influenza pandemic. Despite all of the work that we do as historians looking at past experiences of pandemics, there's no way to be certain about how this pandemic will end and what that resolution will be. During 2020 he has been investigating the history of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic in the context of these longer histories of policing, law and government in Australia. [Extracted from the article]
